- According to a recent report, Mafia: The Old Country was the most profitable game on Steam in August 2025.
- Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake and Titan Quest 2 ranked second and third, respectively.
- Surprisingly, Gears of War: Reloaded failed to make the top 10, generating only $2 million in revenue.
Mafia: The Old Country didn’t have the strongest launch, with a modest player count and several performance issues reported by fans.
Despite that, the game appears to have been a commercial success. According to a new report, it was the highest-grossing title on Steam last month.
Why it matters: Major releases like Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake and Gears of War: Reloaded also launched in August, which makes Mafia: The Old Country’s achievement even more impressive.
GameDiscoverCo has released a list of new Steam’s top 10 most profitable games for August 2025, and Mafia: The Old Country has taken the top spot.
Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake and Titan Quest 2 followed in second and third place, respectively. The latest Mafia title earned an estimated profit of $18.8 million, while MGS3 Remake brought in around $14.9 million.
Mafia: The Old Country launched at a mid-tier price point of $50, while Titan Quest 2 was more budget-friendly at $30. In contrast, Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake carried a premium price tag of $70.
Titan Quest 2 launched on August 1 and sold approximately 432,100 copies during the month. Meanwhile, Mafia: The Old Country, which was released on August 7, sold around 427,000 copies, only slightly behind despite releasing nearly a week later.
Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake, on the other hand, was released much later in the month, on August 28, yet still managed to sell around 238,900 copies in just three days. That’s an incredibly strong start for such a short window.
Given these figures, it’s reasonable to assume that had MGS3 Remake launched earlier, on par with the other two titles, it could have easily secured the top-grossing position for the month.
Surprisingly, Gears of War: Reloaded did not make it into the top 10. The game only generated $2 million in profit, less than both Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2 and The Bazaar.
